Summary
The news is being live-edited as we watch in the case of a Newsweek article written by a law professor that they felt might get them cancelled. Then, bread riots might be in our future, Hillary offers her assistance to the Biden campaign, Titania McGrath makes a splash at a diversity and inclusion table in a bookstore, and finally, 9/11 is beginning to fade into the mists of memory and will continue to do so if we let it.

| 0:00.0 | Right now there's a new birthrism, I guess, conspiracy theory or something ridiculous. |
| 0:06.3 | And I think it's outright ridiculous. But I'll tell you what's really ridiculous. |
| 0:10.6 | And as often, I'm always criticizing the media, they're blaming Donald Trump because he was |
| 0:17.3 | asked by a member of the press corps about Kamala Harris not being a citizen or something. And he said, |
| 0:23.1 | I don't know anything about it. And that was it. And now the left is going, |
| 0:27.0 | running around, running stories, claiming that Donald Trump is pushing this conspiracy, |
| 0:31.3 | there's no winning, is there? Donald Trump gets asked a question and he goes, I'm sorry, what? |
| 0:36.8 | I heard that today, I don't think about it. And apparently that's enough. How's it going, |
| 0:40.7 | everybody? Before we get into all the news, I want to mention there is an independent journalist. |
| 0:46.8 | I call whatever you want. I don't, I'm not super familiar with Millie Weaver, but I know |
| 0:52.3 | many people are. And this story has been getting on this viral video. This is a woman who was |

| 1:14.6 | to release a documentary and they're alleging something having to do with, you know, secret documents |
| 1:20.2 | or something. So I think a lot of people are concerned that someone's trying to silence her, |
| 1:24.0 | but I'll be completely honest. I have, there's no news here in the, I mean, it's news that she's |
| 1:28.8 | arrested. What I mean is there's no updates. We have no information. All we know is right now. |
| 1:33.5 | There's a, you know, 50,000 or so tweets going around, which should be trending. It's not trending. |
| 1:40.4 | And it's about Millie Weaver being arrested. So I'm not super familiar with who she is, but just so |
| 1:45.1 | you know, you know, that's, I don't know, some people were asking about it. But other than that, |
